The Hang Seng Index was little changed, to around 24,601 on Wednesday, as investors remained cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision later in the day. Sentiment was pressured by elevated US Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield having briefly breached 5% in the previous session, while a stronger US dollar also weighed on Asian risk assets. Oil prices remained elevated following a sharp rise in the previous session amid concerns over disruptions to Saudi crude shipments. Against this backdrop, gains in some technology stocks were insufficient to offset broader weakness, leaving the index modestly lower. For individual stocks, Tencent Holdings was among the technology names in focus after ByteDance launched a major update to its Feishu workplace platform, embedding AI agents more deeply into the service and intensifying competition in enterprise AI. Other notable laggards were Xiaomi (-1.5%), Kuaishou (-1.7%) and Akeso (-3.9%), while Z.AI (4.8%) and MiniMax (4.9%) rose.
